Mine was a compaq portable 486 /66 And i got it when i was 5 or somthing..


70MHz Pentium
4MB ram, upgraded to 8MB iirc..
640MB Hard drive

10" tft type thingo





Whats yours?

Pentium MMX 166Mhz
16MB of RAM
2MB graphic card
2GB Hard drive
Windows 95.

I successfully screwed the PC up when I was trying to install Win 98.
Then I had to bring the PC to the store to let me them install it, and I had to upgrade my graphic card 4MB because it was "burnt"
But, I was happy with the new graphic card because I could watch movies.

386 PC 500MB HDD ,, Windows 3.1 to Windows 3.11, cant remember how much Memory or other it had in it,

i have no idea what it was, i just remember it had windows 1.0 on it, and you had to close down windows just to open up word, but it had sim city on it. fold down, keyboard, 5 inch floppy, small green screen which you turned on and controled the contrast from a single knob in the back

IBM PS/2
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Personal_System/2



Running PC/MS-DOS 4 or 5.

A 286, I can't remember much about it but I remember having to use a  3.5" floopy to boost the memory in order to play some games on it.

* markee wishes his first computer had a HDD

But I guess 2x5" floppy drives were about as good as you could get for a PC....

BTW, I dont really remember that computer, I do remember the next one which we used to run a dos interface rather than windows..... we got it about 16 years ago I think and my first was purchased before I was born I'm quite sure

Pentium III 1 GHz with 128MB SDRAM (Upgraded to 256) on an Intel 810E Chipset mobo
15in CRT mon by LG which was upgraded to a 17in LCD by samsung for the last 4 months of its use

The one I have right now is my first computer (got it a few years ago) - Pentium IV 3 GHz, 512 MB RAM, ATI Radeon 9550SE 128 MB, 80 GB HDD, Windows XP.

A HP Vectra ES



8MHz CPU (286)
640KB RAM (enough for everybody )
20MB harddsik
5.25 inch floppy
Black and white monitor!!!!!

Mine was one which ran Win 98, I only used to play stupid computer games so I would have no idea what specifications it had. But I'm happy I'm rid of it.

mine was an acer with windows 98

9gb HD
32mb ram
546mhz < or something like that

that's all that i remember

All i remember is that is was Windows 98 with some specifications which i never knew, except for the ram which was 128 MB .

Philips XT comp with monochrome (orange) monitor.




Frogger anyone?

The first computer actually owned my me, I am currently typing on
Athlon XP 2200 O/C to 1.86 GHz
256 RAM
40GB hdd

the first computer my family had was an IBM PowerPC running '95

all I remember is that it was a Packard Bell and it ran Win95.

Erm..

30GB HDD
32mb ram
big bolky monitor

and it was a tiny

Mine was a dodgy time computer which ran windows 98 but was still slow, crashed about 10 times a day =/ 
This is what i think it had
8Gb HDD
32MB Ram
Massive and bulky 8 or 16 bit color monitor

Mine was a packard bell windows 95.
Erm think it had

16mb ram
2gb hard drive

not sure about the rest

my first own computer that i didnt have to share, was a imac that had Mac OS 9.1, then 8.6, then 9.2 lol. but the first computer that i got that everyone used, was  a gateway that had 98 on it.

64mb ram 750 mhz and 32 mb graphic card
OS Windows 98

First computer I "used" (not really used, but rather pushed on buttons and played one or two games) was a ZX 81 (red color), and a ZX Spectrum 82 with a wooping 48K memory and 3.5MHz speed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX_Spectrum

This was also the oldest computer I ever wrote a program for.
I still have it (incl. all manuals, etc) and it still works...

After that when I grew older we got a Commodore 64:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_64

with 64 Kb RAM.. OMG! Still have boxes full of floppies with games (original version of MANIAC MANSION... WHOOOHOO) and also many cassette tapes (instead of floppies which were 'state of the art' and with disk drives as big as a modern designed media center..., computers worked mainly with tapes). Also all the manuals, etc, and working (although keyboard has many sticky keys )

This was also a computer which you could literally pull chips out and replace them, solder your own connections, etc... It was a tweakers' computer, so to speak

After that, my first "Personal Computer" was a 286 with a CGA graphics card (I believe with DOS 3.0), then switched to a Tulip 286 (DOS 4 and 5) with Hercules graphics card, which is b/w but with special high resolution (7xx x 500) (it was a "Tulip").

From there it went 386 (Windows 3.x), 386DX, 386DX2 (Win 3.11), 486DX2, 486DX4, Pentium (Win 95), etc...

And somewhere in between I sometimes used an Atari and my nephew had an Amiga...

It had a CD-drive and a floppy!

And an even harder to find AMD-graphics card. Something with 3D in it...

800Hz
32MB of ram
20GB hard drive
Windows Me (pirated in some way)

I don't know the specs, but it was a rather large PC running Windows 95 .

6GB Hard Drive
Windows 98
64 mb Ram

the first PC I bought myself had something like this: AMD K6 350MHz (@428MHz), 128MB RAM, 16MB graphics and 6GB HDD. I upgraded this PC until what I have now, but in fact there's nothing left from what I had then. Last thing I had from the beginning was the case, which I replaced about 3weeks ago

Before I had my own I used to use my dad's PCs, of which I don't know the exact specs. The first PC I remember here at home was one of those with a 2-digit LED screen showing the clock speed (first 80, later 99)

Self-build

Pentium 3 1GHz
128MB SDRAM
3dfx Voodoo 5 5500 GFXcard edit: 64MB

Kinda bullshit compared to my new one ^^

Yes, my PC career started on a Mac.

my first was a P3, Advent 5732 ( i think!!) ...had 128 RAM, 6GB HD and a very small screen just bought new one few months ago because the power lead did not work lol!

now got Dual core T7200 with 2GB RAM, 256MB ATI x1400 Grapics Card, 80GB HD...17" screen Laptop BTW

Well, the first one i used was a 386 computer (dont remember the speed, i think it was 25 MHz or something) with a 120 MB HDD.

Then we upgraded it to a 486 with 75 MHz.

The two computers were running MSDOS 4 or 6, and Windows 3.1 and color display (VGA, 16 colors capable only)

And on the next year, probably 2, we added a CDROM drive 1x. It was the sh*t and it came with a DOOM Demo CD which it got destroyed like 3 or 4 years later when we had a Pentium III 600 MHz computer with a 52x drive, the drive was spinning so fast, that it cracked inside

Back to the topic, also my family had a toshiba satellite laptop, monochromatic display, MSDOS 6, WIndows 3.1, with 4 MBs of RAM and 75 MHz CPU speed AFAIR.
